i'm all about the direct positive

tangobaby made me download a trial copy of lightroom 2 (i apparently have no will of my own and am generally weak in the face of gadgetry and pretty software). so today i finally really played with it.

it's heavenly.

and so are my MOO cards, shown here after a little direct positive treatment.


so heavenly that i ordered 3 new sets today for different purposes. because i'm a girl with a lot of purposes, why do you ask?

and here's what you can do with lightroom 2...

original:


there was a time when this would have made me perfectly happy
but then i found out about antique light:


and cold tone:


imagine what will happen when i start making my own presets...

but first, i'm off to oslo.

but speaking of directly positive, get yourself over to borneochica's blog and read her post about how she's going to gather books and donate them to teachers in chicago. i sent a box of them her way yesterday. if i can do it, so can you, mine have to cross an ocean and all. :-) she called me a rock star when i did it. you too can be a rock star, i'm sure.

heh heh heh. I love bending people to my will.

I cannot WAIT until you start downloading the free presets. I am going to send you links, many links.

Come to me....

ps. I really like that Antique Light with the inkwell. Good choice.

I got so excited I forgot to read about the books and how you're a rock star. Now I have to go check that out. ;-)
